applying for jobs at R1s and R2s, AERA trends, whether Carlton has a meta-analysis for that (the answer is always yes), the impostor phenomenon, re-imaging motivational theories, how mixing theories can be like opening a fusion restaurant, and finding time to stay on top of reading papers. ♥️(2/2)

We talked about control-value theory today in Achievement Motivation, so we brought back this art activity (see thread below). @summerrobinson.bsky.social's "Yay! Motivation!" drawing took home the competitive prize, although @tjroyuh.bsky.social's doodled ghost was adorable. @aeratepsig.bsky.social

We had a great discussion about classroom barriers, safe classroom climates where we aren't afraid of making mistakes, emotions, and things that affect our outcome and efficacy expectations. Also, we all loved Summer's Lego cat! 🥰

Return of Ben Heddy's Lego self-efficacy activity today in Achievement Motivation class! Students built a Lego set with 1) the box and the instructions, 2) just the box but no instructions, or 3) no box AND no instructions. @tjroyuh.bsky.social @summerrobinson.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social
You should all register for Ben's workshop! I used one of @benheddy.bsky.social's activities today in Achievement Motivation. There was tons of laughter and it was proclaimed "the best day ever." (1/5) @aeratepsig.bsky.social @aera-motsig.bsky.social

It is remarkable to see how down to earth "famous researchers" are. I am so thankful for these opportunities!
A great comment from a student about what to take away from his visit: "Famous researchers are regular people!" 🥰 (4/4)

I love seeing all the life (professional and personal) that happened over the past year with members of our lab! 💜
This year had a lot of ups and downs, but our Identity & Academic Motivation lab got together today to celebrate our accomplishments! This is a fantastic group of students, and I'm grateful for the time I get to spend with them.

Really loved how the vivid examples brought this piece to life!
And important discussion around practical challenges for elementary educators too.

How can we promote girls’ sense of belonging computer science? Based on a recent publication in the Journal of Research on Technology in Education. Shout out to graduate student Summer Robinson, who created the next three as part of her work on our NSF grant! (3/12)
